As-Interface Basics
Use only certified modules, gateways/scanners, and power supplies.
Total segment cable length is 100 m. (See page 12.) This includes the
total of all trunk and drop lines.
One AS-Interface power supply is required per segment. For
example, a network with 2 repeaters requires 3 power supplies.
Exactly one gateway/scanner is required per network.
31 addresses maximum; extended addressing, 1-31a and 1-31b, is
permitted on 2.1 and 3.0 spec. networks for a total of 62 nodes.
Address 0 (the factory default address) is used for automatic
addressing and is not permitted on a running system.
Modules with extended addressing and 4-in/4-out are permitted only
on networks where an M4 (3.0) master is used.
Update time per module is 150 s. The formula for scan time is
150 s x (number of addresses + 2)
Addressing Modules
If only one module has failed:
remove failed module
connect new module
As long as the new module is identical (i.e., has the same I/O and
ID codes and has address 0 before connection), no additional steps
are necessary.

Handheld Programmer
The handheld programmer is a diagnostic tool that is used to read the
inputs or set the outputs on a module. This is often done to isolate and
troubleshoot a specific I/O point.

Error Counters
If a node requires at least 2 consecutive retries,
counts will appear on the display next to that
node address. A clean network will have few
or no retries. Single retries are automatically
handled at the AS-Interface chip level and
cannot be detected using the gateway. (Counts
always go up by 2.)
If any node has 6 consecutive retries, it appears
in the LCS with an X by the node address. (This
node caused a configuration error.)
Fault Detector
The following errors occurred in the past (HISTORIC)
or are currently happening (ACTUAL). Duplicate
addresses are also displayed on this screen.
EFLT: An earth or ground fault has occurred.
Check to make sure that AS-i + or - is not
touching machine ground anywhere.
OVRV: A power spike occurred on AS-i such that
the AS-i voltage was too high.

Exchanging SafetyNodes
Compared to standard modules, exchanging a SafetyNode requires a few
additional steps. See procedure for single and multiple node replacement.
Exchanging SafetyMonitors
1. Disconnect the failed SafetyMonitor from the 24 VDC power supply.
Both L+ and M must be removed!
2. Use the special download cable, VAZ-SIMON-RJ45. Connect the
new and old SafetyMonitors together.

Repeaters
The communication path between an AS-i module and gateway/
scanner must not go through more then 2 repeaters. This example
shows a network with 5 segments, 4 repeaters and a total length of
500 m. Note the position of the gateway in the middle segment.

Power Supplies
Exactly one AS-Interface power supply is required for each segment.
Only one ground/earth fault detection circuit should be used in each
segment. This circuit could be on the power supply, gateway, or
SafetyMonitor.
Some gateways have duplicate address detection. To operate, the
power supply must be connected directly to the dedicated terminal
(labeled +PWR-) on the gateway.

Analyzer
The network analyzer, VAZ-ANALYSER, provides information about
network stability and allows detailed analysis of protocol-specific
communication detail.
There are two modes of operation. The first is online statistics where the
overall health of the network is read. The second is trace mode where
individual AS-i telegrams are recorded, filtered, and viewed for later
analysis. This mode is often used to track down specific input, output
or timing problems.
Online Statistics
Advance statistics (check for)
- Little or no missing telegrams
- No slave telegrams without
master call
Consecutive errors
- Make sure consecutive
errors are kept to
a minimum. (6x =
configuration error)
Network overview
- Check to make sure all
connected nodes are
green
I/O data
- Verify that the input and output data is correct
- Find out if a certain input is flickering or turning on for a short time by
running a trace on that input
